Hi...so I make mead and wine (from kits) regularly. When I make mead I stir a lot while the fermentation is going. Makes sense to get rid of CO2. Apparently it ages out better and faster...i'm sure there's a couple other reasons as well.
When I make wine kits I usually just follow the instructions. But now that I've really jumped into homebrewing I'm starting to ask questions not just follow the instructions. How come you're not supposed to stir a wine kit during fermentation? Wouldn't the same ideas apply about taste and aging?
I've definitely had a few kits that weren't too great either..typically home made wine taste. Right now I'm working on the wine expert italian amarone with grape skins..smells awesome!
Thanks,
Erin
